Wojids op Wisdom raosi the eight
Quarter. --Wo give the following ex-tract
from an oratib delivered bj
Hen. George T. Curtis, : before ths
City Council and Citizens of Boston,
at the Academy of Mcsic, July 4th,
1S62, which is worth Tending:
If we, of the North, will not relig-ousl- y
and honestly respect, the consti-tutional
right of every State to main-tain
just such domestic institutions as
it pleases to have,' ana'protect that
right from every species of direct and
indirect interference, then there is an
absolute incompatibility. If they, of
the south, will not as honestly and re-ligiously
maintain the right of the Fed-eral
Union, to regulate those subjects
and interests which are committed to it
by the Constitution, then there is, in
like manner, an incompatibility of pre-cisely
the same nature. If the parties,
in reference to the common domains,
will admit of no compiomise or conces-sion,
but each insists on applying to
them its ow policy as a national pol-icy,
then the incompatibility is as com-plete
from that cause as it is from the
others. The difficulty is not "in the
principle of the association, for noth-ing
can be clearer than that principle ;
and when it has been honourably ad-hered
to, no government in the world
has worked more successfully. But
the difficulty has arisen from disturb-ing
causes that have dislocated the ma-chine
: and what we have now to as-certain
is, whether the people on both
sides will treat those causes as tempo-rary,
and remove them, or will accept
them as inevitable and incurable, and
thus make the sepaiation final and con-clusive.
In tho gloomy conception of the
old Grecian tragedy, no room was left
by the poets tor the' moral energies of
man, there was no force in human
straggles, 'no defense in human inno-cence
or virtue. Higher than Jupiter,
highsr than the heavens, in infinite dis-tance,
in infinite indifference to the for-tunes
of men or gods, sate the mysteri-ous
and eternal power of Destiny.
Before time was, its decrees were
made ; and when the universe began,
the awful chancery' was closed. No
sweet interceding saints could enter
there, translated from the earth to
plead for mankind. No angels of love
and mercy came from human abodes,
to bring tidings of their state. No
mediator, once a sufferer in the flesh,
stood there to atone "for human sin.
The wail of a nation in its agony, or
the cry 'that went up from a breaking
human heart, might pierce into the
endless realms of space, might call on
the elements for sympathy, but no an-swer
and no relief could come. He
who was pre-ordain- ed to suffer,
through whatever agency, suffered and
sank, with no consolation but the
thought that all the deities, celestial
and infernal, were alike subject to the
same power.
Are we, too, driven by some relent-less
force, that annihilates our own
free wills and, dethrones Him who is
Supreme ? Are we cast helpless and
di ifting like leaves that fall upon the
rushing steam ? Must we give way to
Wankdespair ? No, no, no ! There
are duties to be done to be done by
us ; for whatever may be the result of
this mighty array of army, against ar-my
whatever may be the effect of
victories that have been1 or shall be
won whatever'are to be our future re-lations
with the peeple of the South,
the time is coming when we and they,
face to face, and in theeyo of an all-seein- g
God, must determine bow we will
live side by side as the children of one
eternal Parent. ' (Applause.)
For that appproaching day, and for-th- e
sake of a restoration of that which
arms alone cannot conquer, let me.im.-plor- e
you to make 6ome fit and 'ade-quate
preparation of instruments and'
agents -- ' and' means and influence's.
Trust to the humanizing effects of a
new and better-intercours- e-. -- Trust to
the laws of Nature, which have .p'onr-e- d
through this , vast continent, the
mighty streams that bind ns in the in
dissoluble ties of Commerce. Trust in
that Charity the follower and the
handmaid of Commerce which
clothes the naked and feeds the hungry
and forgives the erring. Trust in the
force of Kindrud Blood, which leaps to
reconciliation, when the ftorms of pas-sion
aie sunk to rest. Trust in that
divine law' of Love, which his more
power over the human soul than all
the terrors of the dungeon or the gib-bet.
Trust in the influence over your
own hearts and the heaits of others, of
that Religion which was sent as the
messenger of Peace on Earth, Good
Will to men. Trust in the wise, bene-ficent,
impartial and neutral spirit of
your Fathers, who gave tranquili'y,
prosperity and happiness to the whole
land. Trust in God and you may yet
see your national emblem, not as "the
emblem of victoiyt but as the sign of a
xe-innit-eJ
American people, floating in
the breath of a merciful Heaven, and
more radient with the glory of its res-tored
constellation, than with all the
triumph it has won, or can ever win,
over a foreign foe. (Long continued
applause )
INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLES OF THE
Peninsula. The scenes of the battle
field are both touching and interesting.
While the engagement goes on and
a man here and there falls, one woun-ded
and another dead, the dead body is
left lying in tho position in which it
fell, the soldier sometimes graping
bis half-loade- d musket and ramrod,
or loaded and aiming as if to again
discharge it ; another dying after a lew
minutes, or an hour's conciousness,
with hands clasped or any little keep-sake
lying upon hi? bosom, as if his
last word nd bieath had been a parj-e- r
for the loved one away.
The woundrd, if their Injures are
slight, are alio ired to walk awy,.or
if more rerions, one or two comrades
lay down their aims and led him off,
until met by the biretcher bearers,
when they are laiJ upon the stretcher
and tkun to the ambulance in waiting
in a protected pot, to take them to the
phce selected as a temporary hospital,
whe:e surgeons are in attcndince to re-ci- v
e them.
Heie, then, come the tjying. scenes.
Tiie ph3'sician discriminates between
tho'S mortally wounded and those who
will probably live, an! the operations
are affecting in the extieme.
One moitdlly wounded soldier asks,
" Doctor, what do you think of my
case, is it dangerous ?" With a feel-ing
which biings tears to the eyes of
men 'of the stoutest hearts, the Doctor
replies, both for the surgeon and the
spiritual adviser, that there is little or
no hope, and the soldier close Lis eyes
for a few moments in despair, then ris-ing,
he looks earnestly for a sympathi-zing
friend, and earnestly makes the
same iuqnity.
Major Barnu'm, of the 12th New
York;! was mortally wounded, and
while lying breathing his last, a friend
asked him if he had any message, to
which he replied : " Tell my wife
that in my last thought were blended
my wife, my boy, and my flag." He
asked of the physician how the battle
went, and when told that it wa3 favor-able
to us, he said "God bless the old
fla ," and expired with the prayer fin-ishing
inaudibly with his closing lips.
A braver officer never urged his men
to gallantry.
1 met one'soldier with a ball through
lis leg and bleeding to death surely
and rapidly.
' ' ' Oh," said be, " what will Mrs.
Ellis and Jennie do ? Poor William is
dead how. his mother and sister loved
him. And he would not bave enlisted
if I had not. O, dear, O, dear 1"
And beseeching me to take a message
to them, said : Poor Mrs. Ellis ; poor
raei I have no mother and 6ister to weep
for me ; I might as well fight those
wicked rebels as not."
Another shot through his lungs
clasped ' a" lobket to his breast and
moved his' lips' till I put down my ear
and listened.for his last breath.
' You'll tell her, woa't you V!
Te51 who or where I could not ask,
but the locket was the picture of one
who might bo wife, sweetheart or sis-ter.
At one pUce apart from the rest
men were carried to have legs and
arms amputated. At three different
times I saw parties of men carrying
sway amputated limbs for burial.
When the battle is over, details of men
from each regiment go over the field
and pick up and recognize the bodies
of the dead, carrying them to a conve-nient
place, and laying them face to
the enemy ready for burial.
A very interesting incident is told of
Colonel Averill, of the 3d Pennsylvania
cavalry, while at the battle of Malvern.
The Colonel had the conduct of the ex-treme
roar all through the retreat, and
while at Malvern he was accideutly left
without any artillery to protect the
rear and some hundreds of wagons.
He immediately set about dividing his
cavalry, and maneuvering them like ar-tillery,
to give the appearance of its
presence, and that of generals sending
out orders, so completely deceiving the
enemy that they made no attempt to
approach, and the wagons of ammuni-tion
were, all but twelve, safely brought
offthose were burned.
Gen. Rousseu's Speech at Loui-sville.
A banquet was given by the
citizens of Louisville to Gen. Rousseau.
Oa that occasion this brave and patri-otic
officer spoke at length on the war
and its purposes. We copy from the
Louisville Journal the following signifi-cant
pasages that have altogether , the
right ring. The speaker is a Kentrick-u- n
by birth :
" I have warned our Southern,
friends of the danger of continuing it
much longer ; and I tell you to-nig-ht,
that if this war continues a year from
this day, there will not be a slave left '--'
on this continent. The great xevolu- - '
tion will take care of itself ; the dead
will bury its dead, and those who are
causing all the bloodshed' and desola-tion
around us, underthe false'pretense
that we desire to free their negroes,
will, if they persist, one day find sla- -
ery, snuffed out as you snuff out a can-dle.
Slavery is not worth our govern-ment.
It is not worth' our liberty.
It is not worth all the precious blood
now being poured out for freedom. It
is not worth the free navigation p the
Mississippi River. No 1 we must still
have our government if not as it now
is, with slavery in it, still we must
have our government. We cannot be
slaves to Jeff, Davis & Co. we must
and will be free. We must have the
free navigation of the Mississippi Riv-er
; and if slavery gets in the way of
any of these rights, why, slavery must
get out of the way."
A Beautiful Idea. Away among
the Alleghanies there is a spring so
small that a single ox in a --summer's
day could drain it dry. It steals its
unobtrusive way among the hills till it
spreads out in --the beautiful Ohio.
Thence it stretches away thousands of
miles, leaving on its banks more than'
a hundred villages and cities, and ma-ny
thousands of cultivated farms, and
bearing on its bosom more than a thou-sand
steamers. Then joining the Mis-sissippi,
it stretches away some twelve
hundred miles more till it falls into the
great emblem of eternity. It is" one of
the greatest tributaries of the ocean, 1
which, obedient only to God, shall
roll and roar till the angel, with one
foot on the sea and the other. on the
land, shall lift up his hand to heaven'
and swear that time shall be no longer.
So with moral influences. It is a rill
a rivulet an ocean, boundless as
the sea.
It is estimated that from fifteen to
twenty thousand bales of cotton, of
good, staple,", will be sent to market
from Illinois the present year,7 ..': .
The present session of Congress,
reached its seventh month on Tuesday,
last. . , ,

can be clearer than that principle ;
and when it has been honourably ad-hered
to, no government in the world
has worked more successfully. But
the difficulty has arisen from disturb-ing
causes that have dislocated the ma-chine
: and what we have now to as-certain
is, whether the people on both
sides will treat those causes as tempo-rary,
and remove them, or will accept
them as inevitable and incurable, and
thus make the sepaiation final and con-clusive.
In tho gloomy conception of the
old Grecian tragedy, no room was left
by the poets tor the' moral energies of
man, there was no force in human
straggles, 'no defense in human inno-cence
or virtue. Higher than Jupiter,
highsr than the heavens, in infinite dis-tance,
in infinite indifference to the for-tunes
of men or gods, sate the mysteri-ous
and eternal power of Destiny.
Before time was, its decrees were
made ; and when the universe began,
the awful chancery' was closed. No
sweet interceding saints could enter
there, translated from the earth to
plead for mankind. No angels of love
and mercy came from human abodes,
to bring tidings of their state. No
mediator, once a sufferer in the flesh,
stood there to atone "for human sin.
The wail of a nation in its agony, or
the cry 'that went up from a breaking
human heart, might pierce into the
endless realms of space, might call on
the elements for sympathy, but no an-swer
and no relief could come. He
who was pre-ordain- ed to suffer,
through whatever agency, suffered and
sank, with no consolation but the
thought that all the deities, celestial
and infernal, were alike subject to the
same power.
Are we, too, driven by some relent-less
force, that annihilates our own
free wills and, dethrones Him who is
Supreme ? Are we cast helpless and
di ifting like leaves that fall upon the
rushing steam ? Must we give way to
Wankdespair ? No, no, no ! There
are duties to be done to be done by
us ; for whatever may be the result of
this mighty array of army, against ar-my
whatever may be the effect of
victories that have been1 or shall be
won whatever'are to be our future re-lations
with the peeple of the South,
the time is coming when we and they,
face to face, and in theeyo of an all-seein- g
God, must determine bow we will
live side by side as the children of one
eternal Parent. ' (Applause.)
For that appproaching day, and for-th- e
sake of a restoration of that which
arms alone cannot conquer, let me.im.-plor- e
you to make 6ome fit and 'ade-quate
preparation of instruments and'
agents -- ' and' means and influence's.
Trust to the humanizing effects of a
new and better-intercours- e-. -- Trust to
the laws of Nature, which have .p'onr-e- d
through this , vast continent, the
mighty streams that bind ns in the in
dissoluble ties of Commerce. Trust in
that Charity the follower and the
handmaid of Commerce which
clothes the naked and feeds the hungry
and forgives the erring. Trust in the
force of Kindrud Blood, which leaps to
reconciliation, when the ftorms of pas-sion
aie sunk to rest. Trust in that
divine law' of Love, which his more
power over the human soul than all
the terrors of the dungeon or the gib-bet.
Trust in the influence over your
own hearts and the heaits of others, of
that Religion which was sent as the
messenger of Peace on Earth, Good
Will to men. Trust in the wise, bene-ficent,
impartial and neutral spirit of
your Fathers, who gave tranquili'y,
prosperity and happiness to the whole
land. Trust in God and you may yet
see your national emblem, not as "the
emblem of victoiyt but as the sign of a
xe-innit-eJ
American people, floating in
the breath of a merciful Heaven, and
more radient with the glory of its res-tored
constellation, than with all the
triumph it has won, or can ever win,
over a foreign foe. (Long continued
applause )
INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLES OF THE
Peninsula. The scenes of the battle
field are both touching and interesting.
While the engagement goes on and
a man here and there falls, one woun-ded
and another dead, the dead body is
left lying in tho position in which it
fell, the soldier sometimes graping
bis half-loade- d musket and ramrod,
or loaded and aiming as if to again
discharge it ; another dying after a lew
minutes, or an hour's conciousness,
with hands clasped or any little keep-sake
lying upon hi? bosom, as if his
last word nd bieath had been a parj-e- r
for the loved one away.
The woundrd, if their Injures are
slight, are alio ired to walk awy,.or
if more rerions, one or two comrades
lay down their aims and led him off,
until met by the biretcher bearers,
when they are laiJ upon the stretcher
and tkun to the ambulance in waiting
in a protected pot, to take them to the
phce selected as a temporary hospital,
whe:e surgeons are in attcndince to re-ci- v
e them.
Heie, then, come the tjying. scenes.
Tiie ph3'sician discriminates between
tho'S mortally wounded and those who
will probably live, an! the operations
are affecting in the extieme.
One moitdlly wounded soldier asks,
" Doctor, what do you think of my
case, is it dangerous ?" With a feel-ing
which biings tears to the eyes of
men 'of the stoutest hearts, the Doctor
replies, both for the surgeon and the
spiritual adviser, that there is little or
no hope, and the soldier close Lis eyes
for a few moments in despair, then ris-ing,
he looks earnestly for a sympathi-zing
friend, and earnestly makes the
same iuqnity.
Major Barnu'm, of the 12th New
York;! was mortally wounded, and
while lying breathing his last, a friend
asked him if he had any message, to
which he replied : " Tell my wife
that in my last thought were blended
my wife, my boy, and my flag." He
asked of the physician how the battle
went, and when told that it wa3 favor-able
to us, he said "God bless the old
fla ," and expired with the prayer fin-ishing
inaudibly with his closing lips.
A braver officer never urged his men
to gallantry.
1 met one'soldier with a ball through
lis leg and bleeding to death surely
and rapidly.
' ' ' Oh," said be, " what will Mrs.
Ellis and Jennie do ? Poor William is
dead how. his mother and sister loved
him. And he would not bave enlisted
if I had not. O, dear, O, dear 1"
And beseeching me to take a message
to them, said : Poor Mrs. Ellis ; poor
raei I have no mother and 6ister to weep
for me ; I might as well fight those
wicked rebels as not."
Another shot through his lungs
clasped ' a" lobket to his breast and
moved his' lips' till I put down my ear
and listened.for his last breath.
' You'll tell her, woa't you V!
Te51 who or where I could not ask,
but the locket was the picture of one
who might bo wife, sweetheart or sis-ter.
At one pUce apart from the rest
men were carried to have legs and
arms amputated. At three different
times I saw parties of men carrying
sway amputated limbs for burial.
When the battle is over, details of men
from each regiment go over the field
and pick up and recognize the bodies
of the dead, carrying them to a conve-nient
place, and laying them face to
the enemy ready for burial.
A very interesting incident is told of
Colonel Averill, of the 3d Pennsylvania
cavalry, while at the battle of Malvern.
The Colonel had the conduct of the ex-treme
roar all through the retreat, and
while at Malvern he was accideutly left
without any artillery to protect the
rear and some hundreds of wagons.
He immediately set about dividing his
cavalry, and maneuvering them like ar-tillery,
to give the appearance of its
presence, and that of generals sending
out orders, so completely deceiving the
enemy that they made no attempt to
approach, and the wagons of ammuni-tion
were, all but twelve, safely brought
offthose were burned.
Gen. Rousseu's Speech at Loui-sville.
A banquet was given by the
citizens of Louisville to Gen. Rousseau.
Oa that occasion this brave and patri-otic
officer spoke at length on the war
and its purposes. We copy from the
Louisville Journal the following signifi-cant
pasages that have altogether , the
right ring. The speaker is a Kentrick-u- n
by birth :
" I have warned our Southern,
friends of the danger of continuing it
much longer ; and I tell you to-nig-ht,
that if this war continues a year from
this day, there will not be a slave left '--'
on this continent. The great xevolu- - '
tion will take care of itself ; the dead
will bury its dead, and those who are
causing all the bloodshed' and desola-tion
around us, underthe false'pretense
that we desire to free their negroes,
will, if they persist, one day find sla- -
ery, snuffed out as you snuff out a can-dle.
Slavery is not worth our govern-ment.
It is not worth' our liberty.
It is not worth all the precious blood
now being poured out for freedom. It
is not worth the free navigation p the
Mississippi River. No 1 we must still
have our government if not as it now
is, with slavery in it, still we must
have our government. We cannot be
slaves to Jeff, Davis & Co. we must
and will be free. We must have the
free navigation of the Mississippi Riv-er
; and if slavery gets in the way of
any of these rights, why, slavery must
get out of the way."
A Beautiful Idea. Away among
the Alleghanies there is a spring so
small that a single ox in a --summer's
day could drain it dry. It steals its
unobtrusive way among the hills till it
spreads out in --the beautiful Ohio.
Thence it stretches away thousands of
miles, leaving on its banks more than'
a hundred villages and cities, and ma-ny
thousands of cultivated farms, and
bearing on its bosom more than a thou-sand
steamers. Then joining the Mis-sissippi,
it stretches away some twelve
hundred miles more till it falls into the
great emblem of eternity. It is" one of
the greatest tributaries of the ocean, 1
which, obedient only to God, shall
roll and roar till the angel, with one
foot on the sea and the other. on the
land, shall lift up his hand to heaven'
and swear that time shall be no longer.
So with moral influences. It is a rill
a rivulet an ocean, boundless as
the sea.
It is estimated that from fifteen to
twenty thousand bales of cotton, of
good, staple,", will be sent to market
from Illinois the present year,7 ..': .
